Hygiene Tech Meets Healing Proteins
Hospital-acquired infections can be caused by the cross-infection from surface and skin of patient, equipment, and healthcare staff. Various types of products and services are available to control hospital-acquired infections such as sterilization, cleaning & disinfection products, protective barriers, and endoscope reprocessing products. Increase in awareness regarding personal hygiene after COVID-19 is a major factor to boost the Hospital Infection Prevention and Control growth.
Growth factors, proteins or peptides found in nature, are important for the control of cell actions like growth, specialization, movement, and survival. They attach to certain receptors on cell surfaces, which starts signals inside the cells that change how they act. Growth factors are needed for body functions such as development in embryos, healing wounds, fixing tissues, and immune reactions.
Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities
High Cases of Hospital Acquired Infections: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) remain a major risk to patient safety and healthcare results around the world. These infections, often caused by bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium difficile, and Escherichia coli, usually happen because of long hospital stays, surgeries, poor infection control, and antibiotic resistance. Those in intensive care, people with weak immune systems, and those having surgery are at risk. HAIs raise sickness and death rates; these also cause higher medical costs and longer stays in hospitals.
Growing Geriatric Population: The growing geriatric population significantly contributes to the rise in hospital-acquired infections, as older adults often have weakened immune systems and require frequent medical care or hospitalization. This increases their vulnerability to infections, driving the demand for effective hospital infection prevention and control measures. As a result, healthcare facilities are investing more in disinfection, protective equipment, and sterilization solutions to ensure patient safety and reduce infection risks in aging populations.
Challenges
Failure of end-users to follow infection prevention rules limits how well hospital infection control works. When staff, patients, or support people don't follow hygiene rules—such as washing hands, sterilizing tools, or using safety gear— the risk of contamination and infections rises.
Innovation and Expansion
NAVTA & Virox Launch Free Infection Control Training for Safer Vet Care
In March 2023, (National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America) NAVTA, Virox launch certificate program in infection prevention, to advance best practices in infection prevention.
This program is a free online program designed to provide professionals with the knowledge needed to reduce the risk of spreading infection and create a safer workplace for their team, patients, and clients.
NeoIPC Unveils Toolkit to Shield Newborns from Hospital Infections
In November 2023, The NeoIPC Consortium announced the launch of a new surveillance toolkit to help neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) track and prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in high-risk newborns, including very preterm infants.
This toolkit aims to standardize how infections are tracked in Newborn Intensive Care Units (NICUs) to allow for improved data gathering and assessment. It has tools, training, and reporting forms made for newborn care locations. By helping with early detection and response, this project hopes to lower infection rates and improve results for fragile newborns.
Inventive Sparks, Expanding Markets
The key players operating the hospital infection prevention and control market includes, 3M Company, Crosstex International, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Belimed AG, among others. Worldwide business aims center on encouraging lasting growth, improving health and safety for the public, and boosting progress through cooperation.
